The eggs of the Bronzed Drongo are of a regular oval form, some- 

 times rather pointed at the small end, and have but little gloss. 

 The ground varies from a pinkish-fawn colour to a salmon-pink, 

 marked, chiefly in a zone round the large end, with specks and 

 clouds of pale pinkish-brown, inclining to purple. The specimens 

 in the Collection are remarkably uniform in colour and markings. 

 They measure from *76 to -88 in length, and from *6 to 64 in 

 breadth.
